Primary outcomes
1
Upper limb range of motion
A range of motion assessment evaluates the mobility of the injured joint and assesses the limitations of the range of motion.
Time frame
Day 0, 7,14,21, 28, 35, more 35 days2
Upper limb muscle strength
Assessing muscle strength helps determine how much muscle strength will be lost as a patient heals from a burn injury.
Time frame
Day 0,14,35, more than 35 days3
Pain intensity
The pain rate scale assesses the intensity of pain. A higher score indicates a higher level of pain.
Time frame
Day 0, 7,14,21, 28, 35, more than 35 days4
Activities of daily living
Assessment of daily activity assesses the limitations of your daily activities. Higher scores associated with greater independence in daily activities.
